Then why is it that you are unable to explain to me what reasons other than hunting or shooting or self defense could exist for owning a working gun (because if you are collecting guns, you wouldnt care if they are operational, because if you did, then you are obviously, even if only subconciesly, expecting to use it, which then goes back to one of the other reasons). I mean, owning something for the sake of owning it, but never planning to use it just does not make any financial sense, especialy with the *****ing that you guys seem to do about things like the prices of gas and healthcare. I mean, how many differant guns do you need for target shooting, becuase even if you want experiance with differant types, I cant see how differant brands guns that are that provide a differant enough shooting experiance to justify the cost of getting both of them. I mean, if you talk about handguns, you basicly have your; tiny ones, smallish ones, medium sized ones, largeish ones, big ones, and the handcannons (like the desert eagle, which realy stretch the definition of handgun as those things recoil like hell and require both hands to use with any accuarcy).
I seriously want to know why it is that some people feel like owning something for the sake of owning it, but never intend to use it. I would also be interested to know if these people ever ***** about their financial problems (because it strikes me that someone that buys something fully knowing that they will never intend to use it in any manner would be the ones that usualy lack decent financial management). I cannot think that I have ever bought anything without planning to ever use it (though, I may well have bought things and never got round to using it, but I probably planned to use it when buying it).
Again, I want to know how someone who concealed carries is supposed to be safer than someone who unconcealed carries. Becuase, someone who attacks an unconcealed carry would attack anyone, but the deterrant effect of a gun that is not visible is unclear to me, after all, if someone is looking for an unarmed victim, they may not be thinking about if the victim is concealing a weapon. Also, what happens when the attacker is armed (as you guys seem to give me the impression that it is all so easy to buy an illegal weapon, or is it only when guns are banned that they will be easy to get
![:rolleyes:](../../smileys/rolleyes.gif)
) with a gun? If they get you by surprise, they will be able to shoot you first if they see you reach for your gun, and if you are constantly having your hand on it, you probably should be thinking about getting an unconcealed carry if you feel THAT unsafe in your community. After all, if they plan on robbing you, they will have their gun out and ready, so even if they didnt plan on shooting you to begin with, it is always possible that seeing you reach for a gun could cause them to panic, while if you were unconcealed carrying, they wouldnt have gone after you in the first place.
